PROGRESSIVE VICTORY FUND ENDORSES RAJ GOYLE FOR NEW YORK STATE COMPTROLLER
“Raj Goyle is the progressive choice for New York State Comptroller.”
NEW YORK, NY — Today, the Raj Goyle campaign for NY State Comptroller announced the endorsement of Progressive Victory, the nation’s leading digital political action committee. In 2024, they made direct voter contact with over 1.6 million Americans and had over 50 million digital impressions across platforms.
"I am honored to have the backing of Progressive Victory,” said Goyle. “For too long, the Comptroller’s office has operated in the shadows, managed by the same old-guard politics. To win this June, we need to speak directly to the next generation of voters on the platforms where they actually live. With PV’s digital community behind us, we’re going to show Albany what a truly progressive, accountable investment strategy looks like."
"Raj Goyle isn't just running a campaign, he’s leading a movement to reclaim New York’s wealth for New Yorkers," said Nicholas Mohabir, New York State Lead at Progressive Victory. "Our community of creators and activists is looking for fighters who aren't afraid to take on the Wall Street status quo. Raj has proven he’s ready to use the Comptroller’s office as a tool for economic and social justice."
Goyle’s campaign has centered on transparency in state finances and tackling the affordability crisis choking our state as core pillars of his campaign. This responsibility includes fiduciary duty-driven investments while aligning with New York’s values, including divesting the incumbent’s portfolio of foreign bonds, fossil fuels, and any company aiding Trump’s ICE deportation machine, including a nearly half-billion-dollar stake in Palantir.
Goyle has also recently earned the backing of Hindus for Human Rights Action, Muslim Democratic Club of NY, NY Communities for Change, Sunrise Movement NYC, Ali Najmi (Senior Advisor to Mayor Mamdani), climate hero Steve Donziger, anti-trust lawyer Zephyr Teachout and has received a distinction award from Moms Demand Action. Nationally, Congressmember Pramila Jayapal and Congressmember Ro Khanna have endorsed his candidacy.
